Anti-crush safety device
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car is equipped with an anti-crush safety device
for the raising of the front and rear windows.
This safety system detects the presence of an
obstacle during the window closing travel and
intervenes by stopping and reversing the window
travel, depending on its position.
This device is also useful if the windows are activated
accidentally by children on board the car.
The anti-pinch function is active both during manual
and automatic operation of the electric windows.
Following the intervention of the anti-pinch system,
the window travel is immediately interrupted and
subsequently reversed until the lower end of travel is
reached. The window cannot be operated in any
way during this time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush protection intervenes
3 consecutive times within 1 minute or is faulty,
the automatic closing operation of the window is
inhibited, only allowing it in steps of half a second;
the button is released for the subsequent
manoeuvre. In order to restore the correct
operation of the system, the relevant window must
be lowered.Window remote opening/closing by means of
a key with remote control.
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The window can be lowered/lifted holding down the
unlocking (
)/locking (
) button respectively.
The windows move simultaneously as far as the
corresponding button is held down; they will stop
when reaching the upper or lower end of travel
position, or releasing the button.

moving, the electric window automatic operation
must be reinitialised.

the doors closed and for each door, as described
below:
❒fully close the window to be initialised, with
manual operation;
❒after the window has reached the upper end of
travel, hold the up button pressed for at least
